Painting is done! (well at least upstairs)

SO I was right!  The Silk Brocade that I picked out as the perfect pink/salmon/peach color for the small guest bedroom was pale yellow (read strange) green.  I questioned the painter about it & he said something along the lines of  "nope that's the color, it's yellow".  When I asked told him that I would pick up more paint since I wanted the room a pinkish-tan, he said "are you serious?  PINK in a bedroom".  And wouldn't you know it, I gave in.  So the room has a full coat of pale yellow with a strange green tint. 

THEN TODAY, the painter left me a frantic message.  "Hi Melissa, this is Jim the painter.  When I opened the second can of Silk Brocade it was the strange dark tan/pink color.  The labels on both cans say SILK BROCADE, but the color codes are different.  It's not the green, sorry I mean yellow that you have for the first coat." 

Uh huh....So at least I know my color vision isn't that far off.  And I know that I was right, the room does have a strange green glow.  I started to get used to having a pale yellow room, minus the green glow.  So we're on to a third color.  A true Pale Yellow called Cherokee Rose.  We'll see what happens.

Any suggestion for where to use the tan/pink/salmon gallon.  Right now thinking either a closet (surprise our guest) or the laundry room.

PS - here's the paint pallete I'm using:  http://www.duron.com/products/collections/color_palettes/pdf/4collection.pdf
